JUDAS PRIEST Frontman ROB HALFORD To Release The Complete Albums Collection Box Set In May 2017

As Judas PriestĎs frontman, Rob Halford became one of the defining voices of heavy metal, but the powerhouse singer also has released a variety of interesting albums outside of his famous band. Now, a new box set called The Complete Albums Collection gathers together 12 albums that the Metal God issued with his solo band and various side projects. Look for it to hit stores May 19th.

Robís solo career began in 1992, when he left Judas Priest and formed the thrash-metal outfit Fight. The box set contains that groupís three studio albums, as well as K5: The War of Words Demos, a collection of 1992 recordings first released in 2007. After Fight, Halford formed the short-lived industrial-metal band 2wo, which also featured current Rob Zombie guitarist John 5. The bandís sole studio effort, 1998ís Voyeurs, also is included in The Complete Albums Collection.

Rounding out the box set are seven albums by the band Halford, which marked Robís return to traditional metal. These include four studio albums ó 2000ís Resurrection, 2002ís Crucible, 2009ís Halford III: Winter Songs and 2010ís Halford IV: Made of Metal ó as well as three live albums, two of which are two-CD set.

Rob returned to Judas Priest in 2004, and his main musical focus since then has been the influential U.K. band, but The Complete Albums Collection show just how expansive the singerís talents are.

Following is the full list of discs included on The Complete Albums Collection:

FightWar of Words (1993)Mutations (1994)A Small Deadly Space (1995)K5: The War of Words Demos (2007, recorded in 1992)

Sorry Rob, but I'll pass. I have no use for Two's Voyeurs, Fight's Mutations or Small Deadly Space or any of the live material that I don't already own.
